How Geothermal Heating and Cooling Systems Work
Geothermal Technology uses the earth's renewable energy to heat or cool a home or
other building, and to help provide hot water. Just a few feet beneath the surface, the
earth's temperature remains fairly constant, ranging from 45 degrees in northern
latitudes to about 70 degrees in the deep south. Geoexchange takes advantage of this
constant temperature to provice extremely efficient heating and cooling.
IN THE WINTER a water solution circulates through pipes buried in the ground and
in winter absorbs heat from the earth and carries it into the home. The geoexchange
system inside the home uses a heat pump to concentrate the earth's thermal enerby and
then transfers it to air circulated through standard ductwork to fill the interior space
with warmth.
In the summer the process is reversed: heat is extracted from the air in
the house and transferred through the heat pump to the ground loop piping.
The water solution in the ground loop then carries the heat back to the earth.
The only external energy needed for geoexcnange is the small amount of
electricity needed to operate the ground loop pump and fan.
